At this year’s Living Planet Symposium 2025 in Vienna, Fresh4Bio was featured in session A.08.08 – Upper Ocean Dynamics taking place Wednesday 25th June 11:30-13:00 through an oral presentation. Sara will presented results from Activity 2 of the Fresh4Bio project in a presentation titled: Submesoscale Sea Surface Height Mapping along the East Greenland Coast from SWOT. The presentation showcased how high-resolution sea surface height data from the SWOT satellite mission is being used to study fine-scale ocean dynamics along the East Greenland coast. These small-scale processes play a key role in vertical exchanges of heat, nutrients, and carbon—important factors in understanding the impacts of climate change in the Arctic. By combining SWOT data with advanced mapping techniques, the project is enhancing our ability to monitor ocean circulation even in challenging areas like the sea-ice-covered shelf. The results contribute to Fresh4Bio’s broader goal of understanding the links between freshwater input, ocean dynamics, and Arctic ecosystem responses.
